AmeriCar Road Racing Series team Mason Yokoyama Racing will field two full-time cars, and a part-time car for team owner Mason Yokoyama, himself in Super Pro.

#73-Dave Wilson#75-Kayla Yeager

The 73 car will be sponsored by Target, and the 75 will be sponsored by L'Oreal. Yokoyama will drive his trademark Bush's Chicken car #76 and will run on the three championship races, and Quincy only. The car they will be using Saar.

Michigan-based racing team Ace Racing Motorsports is reportedly attempting to prepare a super late model car for competition in the Championship races of the BAAR Super Pro Series, plus the race at Kalamazoo Speedaway.

Gordon Davis is expected to be named as the driver, and the car will reportedly be branded as an Inglesby Flashback and numbered 32. It is currently unknown as to whether or not the car will receive sponsorship.

Davis currently drives the team's Saar Nebraska in the AST Voltson Super Trucks on a part-time basis. He raced full-time in the 2014 edition of the series, scoring a victory at Flat Rock Speedway and finishing second in the final points standings. The 24-year-old was born in Rhode Island and currently resides in Pontiac, Michigan. The team has stated in recent months that they have been hoping to provide Davis with more opportunities to gain experience behind the wheel.

Let me know if you want them to return, and they'll be added to the confirmed team chart since I still have them.

Due date for all cars participating full-time is April 1st.

Lastly, I've added some pre-made cars to the roster since they don't have any corresponding real world manufacturer badges. If anyone wants to claim them, PM me, let me know in the thread, or feel free to change them on the TMPedia page... if the damn TMPedia would work half the time.

Angelina Hawk has accident and engine failure in her first race with Red Bull but rebounds for 3rd in round 2. Jennifer Duke gets 6th and 10th in the first two races of the season, a welcome change after some struggling seasons. Brigitte Dusablon trying to find footing in first full time season.

"We had one of the best cars here at Virginia today and moved up to 3rd. Pretty happy with that. Sucks what happened during the first round but hey we will rebound and looking forward to it." -Angelina Hawk

"Starting off with a 6th and now a 10th, I am feeling pretty good about this season. Looking forward to more runs like these, but it's early but it feels good to be off to this kind of start." - Jennifer Duke

Brigitte Dusablon started off with a poor finish of 20th and improved on that with an 11th place finish at the latest round. However, she has started 7th and then 4th so she has been unable to capitalize on good starting spots, but its growing pains for a previously part time team.

Nemesis Incorporated gets double top 5 at South BostonWow, what a race the two rookies of Nemesis Incorporated had at South Boston! Both Trey Zavala in the #42 car and team-mate Liliana Machado in the #10 powered through the BAAR Super Pro Series field to finish 3rd and 4th respectively in the 100 lap event. This comes as a big surprise to the Super Pro paddock, as neither driver has finished that high this season.

Zavala had this to say after the race: "Whew that was exciting to say the least. I was right up there competing for the win most of the race. Couldn't get it done in the end but it certainly bodes well for the rest of our season".

Machado added, "To be 6th in points at this stage of the season really shows the speed of our cars. I am so proud of everyone at the team who have brought us to this point".

Nemesis Incorporated is a relatively under-funded operation but with today's result it has been rumoured that more sponsors are chomping at the bit to jump onboard. Watch this space!

while Jennifer Duke has her worst run of the year....in 11th and Angelina Hawk continues to be inconsistent

While Jennifer Duke and Angelina Hawk were not interviewed, Brigitte Dusablon while having her best career run still very angry with the end result.

Spoiler:

"I am happy we got 2nd, heck, I never had a top 10 before today but this one freaking hurts because we lost the race not because I lost the handle or the car went away, it's because of that stupid dip**** in the 66 car. You drive for one of the best teams, if not the best team in the league, you were having a bad day, so let the freaking leaders by and don't ruin the end of the freaking race and my opportunity for an upset win. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out or to see what a moronic thing you did. I'm not saying we had the best car, because that 8 was the class of the field but to have the chance to steal and win and lose that opportunity because Brad Brinkley decides to ignore the officials and the flags. I'll remember this for a long time."

In the moments leading up to the start of the Bluegrass 200 at Louisville, series director Eric Derenberger held a press conference regarding the future of the BAAR Super Pro Series.

DERENBERGER: I am pleased to announce that due to the incredible success of our season opening race, the good folks at Langley Speedway have agreed to host the season opening race for the BAAR Super Pro Series for the next three seasons, which is obviously a huge deal after the tremendous race we saw back in April.

In addition to the Langley announcement, Derenberger also had an announcement regarding the state of The Memorial, a race formed in 2013 that has been dedicated to the memory of the five drivers who lost their lives during the ill-fated 2012 Hanmore World Championships at Texas Motor Speedway, those being Cody Gleason, Peter Kreamer, Tyson Lautenschlager, Gordon Sting and Tiffany Matthews. After the announcement that the West Coast Late Model Series would be ceasing operations following the 2016 season, Derenberger, the architect of The Memorial, made a huge announcement regarding the race's inclusion into the BAAR Super Pro Series beginning in 2017.

DERENBERGER: Since the WCLMS is closing its doors at the end of this season, they will no longer be able to support the race, so I've take it upon myself to bring the race over to the Super Pro Series beginning in 2017, and will serve as a Triple Crown event from here on out. There have been several tracks interested in hosting the race, but the one we're looking at is Mosport, who are very interested in hosting the race since three of the drivers who were killed were from Canada, so logistically, it would make the most sense. Nothing is set in stone right now, but talks are looking pretty good right now.

Brigitte Dusablon satisfied with 9th place, after causing a couple of yellows and managing to get the wavearound twice. Jennifer Duke looking like she was going to have a good day, fell way down late in the race. Angelina Hawk, very frustrated.

"To go from 24th, 2 laps down and 20th 2 laps down and rally to get up to 5th at the end of the third segment and come away from the race with an overall 9th place finish. I can't complain. Just want to apologize to all the people who got caught up in some of my incidents earlier, my car was just doing terribly. We will take this result. I'm happy with it." - Brigitte Dusablon

Jennifer Duke was in the top 10 and 5 throughout the first 3 segments, but fell to 18th in the last half, certainly not the result she wanted.

Angelina Hawk was very frustrated. First with her teammates who according to her were a great headache since they seemed to be constantly be getting into trouble. But then with other drivers, as she was heard cussing on her radio after she got involved in an accident that ultimately ended her race, resulting in yet another DNF and poor finish for her.

One of the strongest cars during last weekend's 200-lap BAAR Super Pro Series event at Louisville Motor Speedway in Kentucky was fielded by a team (and driven by a racer) who have never before competed in the series.

24-year-old Gordon Davis of Pontiac, Michigan (originally of Portsmouth, Rhode Island) took the regular competitors of the super late model touring series by surprise by qualifying in 5th-place, leading 67 of the 200 laps (the most of any driver), and finishing in 8th-place after contending for the win up to the race's Green White Checker finish. Ace Racing Motorsports, the team for which Davis drives, had also never raced in BAAR.

The eccentric character, distinguishable from the other drivers in almost any pit area by his enormous Afro, has raced in the AST Voltson Super Trucks for ARM for the past two years, scoring one race victory and a runner-up finish in the championship standings, both in 2014. He is the second driver from the Super Trucks to race in the Super Pro Series, as Gravity Racing, Inc. development driver Hunter Blaize is running double-duty this year by attempting every race among both championships. Last year, Davis also competed in late model races on a number of short tracks throughout in New England, and this year, in addition to his races in BAAR, he returns to racing in both the Super Trucks and late models, all three of which on a part-time basis.

Said Davis following the race, "Yay! My car was the fastest car and I led a lot of laps and got a great finish! These super late models have lots of downforce and lots of power and I really like that!"

Davis held the lead of the race as late as lap 192. The lap before, he had come across the lapped car of Chuck Darling on the frontstretch, whose car had just lost its motor and spewed smoke and oil onto the racetrack. Davis slowed in apparent anticipation of a caution, then tried to get back up to speed and enter turn 1 from a bad angle at the bottom of the track when the yellow flag did not wave. Davis hit the outside wall on corner exit and lost the lead to eventual winner Robert Burton as a result. When asked about the incident, he seemed mildly disappointed but still just as enthusiastic.

"I slowed down because I thought there was a caution but there wasn't. I saw a lot of smoke but my spotter never said there was a caution so I shouldn't have done that. Arrr! I might have won the race if I had kept going! I will try again at Kalamazoo and hopefully I will be fast there, too!"

Davis and the #32 car for ARM will be racing at Kalamazoo Speedway in three weeks, when BAAR visits the track for a 75-lap event. He has raced at the 3/8-mile bullring once before, in an AST Voltson Super Trucks race in 2014 of the same duration, in which he managed to obtain a 3rd-place finish.
